    • Thank you for posting up the results from the sar. The PCN is not compliant with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4. Under Section 9 [2][a] they are supposed to specify the parking time. the photographs show your car in motion both entering and leaving the car park thus not parking. If you have to do a Witness Statement later should they finally take you to Court you will have to continue to state that even though you stayed there for several hours in a small car park and the difference between the ANPR times and the actual parking period may only be a matter of a few minutes  nevertheless the CEL have failed to comply with the Act by failing to specify the parking period. However it looks as if your appeal revealed you were the driver the deficient PCN will not help you as the driver. I suspect that it may have been an appeal from the pub that meant that CEL offered you partly a way out  by allowing you to claim you had made an error in registering your vehicle reg. number . This enabled them to reduce the charge to £20 despite them acknowledging that you hadn't registered at all. We have not seen the signs in the car park yet so we do not what is said on them and all the signs say the same thing. It would be unusual for a pub to have  a Permit Holders Only sign which may discourage casual motorists from stopping there. But if that is the sign then as it prohibits any one who doesn't have a permit, then it cannot form a contract with motorists though it may depend on how the signs are worded.
    • Defence and Counterclaim Claim number XXX Claimant Civil Enforcement Limited Defendant XXXXXXXXXXXXX   How much of the claim do you dispute? I dispute the full amount claimed as shown on the claim form.   Do you dispute this claim because you have already paid it? No, for other reasons.   Defence 1. The Defendant is the recorded keeper of XXXXXXX  2. It is denied that the Defendant entered into a contract with the Claimant. 3. As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance. The Claimant was simply contracted by the landowner to provide car-park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner. Accordingly, it is denied that the Claimant has authority to bring this claim. 4. In any case it is denied that the Defendant broke the terms of a contract with the Claimant. 5. The Claimant is attempting double recovery by adding an additional sum not included in the original offer. 6. In a further abuse of the legal process the Claimant is claiming £50 legal representative's costs, even though they have no legal representative. 7. The Particulars of Claim is denied in its entirety. It is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief at all.

    • Hello,

      On 15/1/24 booked appointment with Big Motoring World (BMW) to view a mini on 17/1/24 at 8pm at their Enfield dealership.  

      Car was dirty and test drive was two circuits of roundabout on entry to the showroom.  Was p/x my car and rushed by sales exec and a manager into buying the mini and a 3yr warranty that night, sale all wrapped up by 10pm.  They strongly advised me taking warranty out on car that age (2017) and confirmed it was honoured at over 500 UK registered garages.

      The next day, 18/1/24 noticed amber engine warning light on dashboard , immediately phoned BMW aftercare team to ask for it to be investigated asap at nearest garage to me. After 15 mins on hold was told only their 5 service centres across the UK can deal with car issues with earliest date for inspection in March ! Said I’m not happy with that given what sales team advised or driving car. Told an amber warning light only advisory so to drive with caution and call back when light goes red.

      I’m not happy to do this, drive the car or with the after care experience (a sign of further stresses to come) so want a refund and to return the car asap.

      Please can you advise what I need to do today to get this done. 
       

      Many thanks

    • We have finally managed to obtain the transcript of this case.

      The judge's reasoning is very useful and will certainly be helpful in any other cases relating to third-party rights where the customer has contracted with the courier company by using a broker.
      This is generally speaking the problem with using PackLink who are domiciled in Spain and very conveniently out of reach of the British justice system.

      Frankly I don't think that is any accident.

      One of the points that the judge made was that the customers contract with the broker specifically refers to the courier – and it is clear that the courier knows that they are acting for a third party. There is no need to name the third party. They just have to be recognisably part of a class of person – such as a sender or a recipient of the parcel.

      Please note that a recent case against UPS failed on exactly the same issue with the judge held that the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 did not apply.

      We will be getting that transcript very soon. We will look at it and we will understand how the judge made such catastrophic mistakes. It was a very poor judgement.
      We will be recommending that people do include this adverse judgement in their bundle so that when they go to county court the judge will see both sides and see the arguments against this adverse judgement.
      Also, we will be to demonstrate to the judge that we are fair-minded and that we don't mind bringing everything to the attention of the judge even if it is against our own interests.
      This is good ethical practice.

      It would be very nice if the parcel delivery companies – including EVRi – practised this kind of thing as well.

Hello dillon21

What are your personal/financial circumstances ?

Are you on benefits or suffer from medical conditions ?

When did the bailiffs begin to act originally ?

Have they previously had access to your (home-have they got a walking possession order)

Sorry I saw you are on mobility-can you give details of your complaint?

How many hours do you work ?

You do need to act quickly.

More help should be here so try not to worry.

First thing is first, stop worrying. Bailiff may seem scary at first but they are all hot air and powerless at this stage. I am presuming from your post that you have not let them in to levy. You do not have to let them in at all, in fact you do not even have to deal with them. Eventually they go away and pass the debt back to the council any way. In the mean time this is what you can do. Pay your bill online on the councils website using the account numbers that you are behind with, write and email the benefits and revenues department that this is what you are doing. It shows that you are a willing payer not a non payer. Write and tell them that this has been an over sight on their part due to your waiting for a response from their department for a DD set up. Explain to them that you are potentially vulnerable under the National standards due to your disability and any bailiff involvement will undoubtedly aggravate your condition.

diagree with that

 

The National Standards for Enforcement Agents are quite clear on this:

 

Department for Constitutional Affairs - Enforcement - National Standards for Enforcement Agents

 

Those who might be considered vulnerable include the following:

the elderly;

people with a disability;

the seriously ill;

the recently bereaved;

single parent families;

pregnant women;

unemployed people; and,

those who have obvious difficulty in understanding, speaking or reading English.

 

 

however

 

the council will say pay the bailiff

 

just pay them the £70 by your internet banking site

they cannot refuse it that way

 

 

tell the baillif you are paying the council

They say because its a joint bill they can send a baliff for my husband

 

that aside council said they will not take it back

 

but will make a £70 payment online now but i know when i speak to the baliff hes going to say the council have told him that i must make payments directly to him

 

what do i say to stop him coming back and if he does come back thats another charge

 

this seems a very odd situation when the council say i must deal with him

 

but your advice is dont

 

whats the legal situation

 

can i tell him something that say i can legally

 

pay the council so he knows im aware of my rights

Thanks

he can only charge another £18 no matter how many times he returns.

somethings not sitting correct here

 

esp the comment about 'joint' and can send a bailiff for your husband only

the person from the council you spoke will always say pay the bailiff there is no law saying you have to deal with the bailiff

you simply ignore the bailiff (if you have a car not on HP or mobility keep it away from the house) the bailiff will charge you £18 for his 2nd visit there can be no more fee unless they get a levy on your goods (thats why its important not to let them into your home and to hide your car)

 

your council probably outsource the enforcement and collection of council tax this will probably be a firm called capita who just happen to own ross&Roberts bailiffs so its not in there interest to return the debt from the bailiffs

you put in in writing that according the nation standards for enforcement agents January 2012 you are a vulnerable debtor

send by e-mail to to your council and ross&Roberts asking for the debt to be returned to council control offer payment of x amount per week month to be paid by standing order only

 

don't offer what you cant afford offer less you can always go up you cant go down

so if you can afford £30 a month offer £20 then if they refuse the £20 you increase it to £30

as this is this years council tax you can pay the council direct using there on-line payment facility

 

PS

if it was a child who was ill/disabled or you had cancer do you think the vulnerable debtor would not apply because the parents / hubby doesn't fall under the category of vulnerable debtor

NO i think not you are a vulnerable household
